Re: [staff] Debian Install workshop in Brest - Waiver



@Ilu:

There is no perfect way to write a responsibility waiver. In my opinion, the key is to have a clear discussion with the persons who will install Debian on their machines, and make them admit that *they* will install Debian, with our help and hints; when the time happens to change the format of their storage disk, they must take the decision to say "OK", and push the right button themselves.

There is a CORRECT way to write a waiver, as lawyers regularly do all over the world. I gave you sound advice, do whatever you like, but at the very least exclude intent. Yes, your text tries to waive liability for intentional damaging actions and that disgression voids the whole thing.


Ilu a écrit :
[...] I would like to point out that such a far reaching liability waiver as in https://salsa.debian.org/puer-robustus/debian-install-at- debconf25/-/blob/main/liability_waiver.en.md?ref_type=heads is null and void in the EU jurisdictions I know. You cannot waive liability
for intent and gross negligence (as your waiver tries to do).
